iA Writer new README.md file in selected directory

iA Writer Terminal Shortcut

This script is designed to make opening a file 
in iA Writer on the Mac from the Terminal 
command line easy.

EXAMPLE USE: 

Running "ia README" will open the file if it exists, 
exactly as the name is specified with no extension. 
Otherwise, it will create a new file called README.md
with the md file extension, if it doesn't already exist, 
and open it. If a file called README.md does already
exist, it will be safely opened without being overwritten. 

Add either of the two options below to your .bash_profile file
in your user directory (~/). 

OPTION 1: 

ia() {
  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "No file specified."
  else
    if [ -f "$1" ]; then
      ## OPEN EXISTING SPECIFIED FILE
      open -a "iA Writer" "$1"
    else
      ## OPEN NEW OR EXISTING FILE WITH MD EXTENSION
      touch "$1.md"
      open -a "iA Writer" "$1.md"
    fi
  fi
}


OPTION 2: SINGLE LINE EXAMPLE

ia2() { if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "No file specified."; else if [ -f "$1" ]; then open -a "iA Writer" "$1"; else touch "$1.md"; open -a "iA Writer" "$1.md"; fi fi }
